A Dense Swarm of Ancient Stars

A kaleidoscopic blend of vintage lounge samples, uncanny vocoders, and eerie synth-pop. It feels like a haunted transmission from a 1970s space station.

Moments Worth Listening For

The transition from the unsettling circus barker intro into the driving, fuzzy synth hook of Sucker for Your Sound.

The way Lust for a Vampyr blends a gothic, romantic melody with a stiff, almost robotic electronic pulse.

The sudden shift into the Sickly Suite where the album's playfulness turns into a more fragile, fragmented melancholy.
